Atkins, Chair Davinder L. Bhowmik Tani E. Barlow Kyoko Tokuno Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Asian Languages and Literature 3 University of Washington Abstract Hyperfemininities, Hypermasculinities, and Hypersexualities in Classical Japanese Literature Sachi Schmidt-Hori Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Paul S. Atkins Asian Languages and Literature This study is an attempt to elucidate the complex interrelationship between gender, sexuality, desire, and power by examining how premodern Japanese texts represent the gender-based ideals of women and men at the peak and margins of the social hierarchy. To do so, it will survey a wide range of premodern texts and contrast the literary depictions of two female groups (imperial priestesses and courtesans), two male groups (elite warriors and outlaws), and two groups of Buddhist priests (elite and “corrupt” monks). In my view, each of the pairs signifies hyperfemininities, hypermasculinities, and hypersexualities of elite and outcast classes, respectively. The ultimate goal of 4 this study is to contribute to the current body of research in classical Japanese literature by offering new readings of some of the well-known texts featuring the above-mentioned six groups. My interpretations of the previously studied texts will be based on an argument that, in a cultural/literary context wherein defiance merges with sexual attractiveness and/or sexual freedom, one’s outcast status transforms into a source of significant power. -

Three twenty-something sisters – Sachi, Yoshino and Chika – live together in a large old house in the seaside town of Kamakura. When they learn of their estranged father’s death, they decide to travel to the countryside for his funeral. There they meet their shy teenage half-sister Suzu for the first time and, bonding quickly, invite her to live with them. Suzu eagerly agrees, and begins a new life with her older sisters. Amidst the many and varied colors of Kamakura’s four seasons, the four sisters cause each other emotional anguish, and support each other through life’s trials, developing a very special bond in the process. -

Aproximaciones Al Anime: Producción, Circulación Y Consumo
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by El Servicio de Difusión de la Creación Intelectual Vol. 1, N.º 51 (julio-septiembre 2016) Aproximaciones al anime: producción, circulación y consumo en el siglo XXI Analia Lorena Meo Facultad de Ciencias Sociales; Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina) Resumen En este escrito se realizó una aproximación al anime (アニメ‘animación japonesa’) presentando brevemente tres fases relacionadas entre sí: producción, circulación y consumo de este lenguaje y producto cultural contemporáneo. Se efectuó una entrada a este mundo animado nipón mediante sus diferentes definiciones y concepciones, su creación a través de las compañías de animación, la posterior distribución mediante distintos medios de comunicación masivos y el consumo pasivo y activo de los otaku (オタク) tanto en la Argentina como en diversas partes del mundo. Se hizo hincapié en la apertura que produjeron los avances tecnológicos para el aumento de la recepción de este bien contemporáneo, la modificación de la forma de consumo y el incremento del interés sobre este fenómeno por parte de académicos en todo el Globo. Palabras clave: anime; estudios de animación; distribución; otaku; Argentina. Artículo recibido: 20/07/16; evaluado: entre 20/07/16 y 25/08/16; aceptado: 12/09/16. Twenty years ago, any non-Japanese encountering the words “anime” or “manga” would have shaken their heads in puzzlement. Flash forward to the twenty-first century, and we find a world where anime and manga are ubiquitous, known and loved around the globe from South Africa to Latin America. -

Japanese Female and 'Trans' Athletes
Japanese Female and ‘Trans’ Athletes: Negotiating Subjectivity and Media Constructions of Gender, Sexuality, and Nation by Satoko Itani A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Teaching & Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Satoko Itani (2015) Japanese Female and ‘Trans’ Athletes: Negotiating Subjectivity and Media Constructions of Gender, Sexuality, and Nation Satoko Itani Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Teaching & Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2015 Abstract The focus of this thesis is twofold: 1) the construction of Japanese female athletes in ‘masculine’ sports by Japanese media in terms of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and nation; and 2) Japanese female and ‘trans’ athletes’ negotiation with Japanese gender and sexuality norms in the formation of their gendered subjectivities. A theoretical framework informed by feminist, queer, and postcolonial theories is used to analyze the discursive constructions and constitution of subjectivities of Japanese female and ‘trans’ athletes in the ‘masculine’ sports of soccer and wrestling. Critical discourse analysis (CDA) was employed to analyze Japanese mainstream newspaper and magazines published between 2001 and 2012 and in-depth interviews with twelve Japanese female and ‘trans’ athletes in wrestling and soccer. The result of the media analysis illustrates that Japanese mainstream media used multiple normative and normalizing ii discursive tactics to construct Japanese female athletes within patriarchal, sexist, and heterosexist gender and sexual norms. These discourses were also mobilized in the reporting of international competitions in which the success of Japanese female athletes was appropriated to construct Japanese national identity in order to recuperate Japanese masculinity.
